RDP Crashes After Entering Password

Solution 1:

The problem was from the recent CSR harmony bluetooth driver I installed. The drivers try to add some bluetooth tag authentication which was causing the issue and RDP crashes regardless of a good or bad password.

The simple fix is to head to 

C:\Program Files\CSR\CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack

and change

BLEtokenCredentialProvider.dll

to

BLEtokenCredentialProvider.dll.BAK

And the issue is now fixed for me.

Solution 2:

I had the exact same problem for months and Mike Averto's answer did the trick (thanks !).

To make it a bit less hackish, I disabled the credential provider in the registry rather than renaming the DLL:

  • launch regedit.exe
  • go to the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers
  • locate the subkey referring to BLEtokenCredentialProvider (5355DA8C-FE32-49b4-A567-A67535C86592 in my case)
  • add to it a new DWORD32 value with name "Disabled" and value 1
